ABOUT

Who I am

Developer, entrepreneur and nature enthusiast.

With roots in e-commerce and Management Consulting, I have a strong passion for innovation and technology.

I find problem solving fun, especially in a collobrative environment where I can work with others to tackle big complex issues. I navigate ambiguity by breaking problems down into manageable sub-components and working through these methodically with my team to get the job done.

My dream is to develop technologies which advance human prosperity whilst also preserving the complexity and beauty of the natural environment around us.

PROJECTS

Screenshot of EyeShopping user's account information

EyeShopping

EyeShopping is a product platform that enables users to collaborate in the online shopping experience.

Users can create product listings and mood boards (like Pinterest) which other members in the community can interact with (e.g. favourite and follow).

The platform also tracks throughput traffic from a user’s board to external sites and enables the user to generate income through affiliate marketing.

Accessible Parking

Accessible Parking is an application which leverages the Google Maps API to plot the locations of disabled parking spaces in the Greater Sydney Metropolitan area.

The objective of the application is to reduce the complexity in locating available and affordable disabled parking.

This is an ongoing project and I am currently in the process of developing functionality for users to plot, upload and share their own locations of disabled parking spaces.

Rescue Cat Matcher

A Ruby terminal app to match rescue cats across different shelters in NSW to members of the public who want to adopt a cat.

The app gathers information from the user and ensures that cats are matched to suitable owners based on a set of mandatory criteria.

The user is allowed to choose a cat from a range of cats which have been matched to their criteria.
